Weighing Grief in the I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's vantage, the verse shows that the true weight is a state of consciousness, not a pile of external misfortunes. Grief and calamity are inner movements in the mind, and the balance on which they rest is your awareness. You are the I AM—the ever-present witness who can revise meaning by assuming a new state. Rather than pleading for relief in the world, you imagine that you already inhabit a fulfilled condition, and you feel that truth until it becomes your felt reality. When Job asks for his grief to be weighed, he reveals the discipline of attention: choose what the scale will answer. If you persist in the assumption that you are the I AM, the scale tilts toward steadiness, and speech returns not from suffering but from the quiet confidence of inner rest. The sand of the sea is merely thoughts; once you cease identifying with them and rest in awareness, your experience in time follows the inner alignment you have already established.
